First grow using pineapple chunk from Barneys farm, in Coco Coir. I have 2 Blackstar 500's power consumption 290watts each and I suppose I could do a side by side comparison if anyone want's that ?

Hi there, I've been a bit absent from the thread as it has been going in a completely different direction as other information was being brought forward, but that is all good. Anyway to answer your question, the panel will be consuming 260watts and the price is going to be $590. It will do very...

Farting about with export licences and lots of red tape, sorry 'bout that, things are never simple :-(

The only thing I am in two minds about at the moment is the 60 or 90 degree lens ? The climate here is the same as Florida 17C in the winter and 26c in the Summer. Just trying to find a happy medium !

Same case. Totally different specs to mine. Haha !! Oh but that one will perform the same as Advanced !

5 per month to different friends addresses ? ;-)

Sorry, I have to agree with Enduro, HPS have been very successful for a long time and to be honest I wish I hadn't spent money on the LED's that I bought 3 years ago and then more 8 months ago, I felt like an idiot as my 600watt kicked their ass. However, if I hadn't then maybe I may have not...

You are correct, I should have put it that way :-)

Yep I was going to go down that route but decided against it. If I may, lets just say that we have a fixture that is using 300watts , 100 for veg led's and 200 for flower. The advantage is of course that you only need 1 light but you're still only using 200w for flower the way the current led's...

Thank you very much for your advise, however I don't think we are talking about the same model ? Mine has 150 led's not 144, I think I know the one you are talking about but it is a different ball game altogether. I understand where you are coming from though regarding the inverse square law of...

I've tried to keep the price as low as possible, originally thought around the $560 mark but opted for the slightly more expensive red led in the panel but I'm hopeful that it's still gonna be good value at $590 and my veg model will be $585 both units consuming 260-270watts each. I've also...

You make some very valid points, I just don't want someone to neglect simple things like Ph for instance, I've seen grows on here with really bad results because of such instances where they forgot to calibrate their PH meter, unbelievable but it happens. A simple grow of say, four indicas, 3...

Hey guys, sorry to go off subject here but, I found a video of Spuzz on youtube. So I now reveal his true identity... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOHlnV5fcsQ

Ok I'll do that as soon as I get through all the red tape for importing and exporting licences, but like I said before, if it does work really well, I won't expect anyone to believe me after all the bs over the last few years. I thought the idea that was put forward by Petflora about letting...

Sorry I didn't mean to sound unkind, to be fair I would like to have someone do an unbiased test with lots of grow experience under their belt. However I will test it first myself but I don't see much point in putting my own results on here as it will only be for my own peace of mind to know...
